CLOUD SERVICE

Security that lives in the pipeline not in a quarterly report

Scanning, secrets management, supply-chain integrity, and policy as code wired into delivery — so security findings arrive at pull-request time, not at audit time.

CAPABILITIES

What we wire into your delivery

Controls that run automatically on every change, tuned so engineers trust the signal instead of muting it.

Code and dependency scanning

SAST and SCA in the pull-request path with the noise tuned down, so a red check means something real is wrong.

Secrets management

Hardcoded credentials found and removed, history scrubbed, and a vault plus short-lived credentials put in their place.

Supply-chain integrity

SBOM generation, artifact signing, provenance attestation, and base-image policy so you know what is actually in a release.

Policy as code

Infrastructure and Kubernetes policy enforced automatically, so a non-compliant resource cannot reach production in the first place.

Runtime and posture monitoring

Cloud posture management and runtime detection tied to alerting your on-call rota actually receives and can act on.

Audit evidence, generated

Control evidence produced by the pipeline itself, which turns SOC 2 and ISO 27001 preparation from a project into a report.

HOW WE ENGAGE

From a security backlog to automated gates

Four phases that add controls in an order engineering teams can absorb.

01

Pipeline and posture review

We map the current delivery path, the controls in it, and where sensitive material actually flows, then rank the gaps by exploitability.

02

High-signal controls first

Secrets scanning, dependency alerts, and branch protection go in first, because they catch the most with the least friction.

03

Gates and policy

Findings move from advisory to blocking once the false-positive rate is low enough that a red build is believed.

04

Ownership and evidence

Runbooks, triage ownership, and automated evidence collection handed to your team so the controls survive our departure.

TECHNOLOGY

The DevSecOps stack we build on

Open tooling wherever it does the job, commercial platforms where they genuinely earn the licence.

USE CASES

When teams bring us in

Usually a deadline, an incident, or a customer questionnaire that will not go away.

↗

A compliance deadline

SOC 2, ISO 27001, or HIPAA work approaching, with controls that currently exist as a policy document and nothing else.

↗

Enterprise security reviews

Sales blocked behind customer questionnaires asking for SBOMs, scanning evidence, and access controls you cannot yet demonstrate.

↗

Alert fatigue

A scanner producing thousands of findings that everyone has learned to ignore, which is worse than having no scanner.

↗

After an incident

A leaked credential or dependency compromise, where the fix has to be structural rather than a single rotated key.

BUSINESS IMPACT

What automated security is worth

The value shows up in deal cycles and incident cost long before it shows up in a certificate.

01

Vulnerabilities caught earlier

A finding at pull-request time costs a fraction of the same finding in production, and does not need an incident channel.

02

Shorter enterprise sales cycles

Security questionnaires answered from generated evidence rather than a scramble across three teams.

03

Audit preparation stops being a project

When the pipeline emits evidence continuously, certification becomes a review of what already exists.

04

Security without slowing delivery

Tuned, automated gates keep deployment frequency intact. That is the whole point of doing it this way.

WHY ZIKOSOFT

Why teams choose us for DevSecOps

Controls only work when the engineers subject to them still trust the build.

Learn more about us →
✓

Signal over volume

We tune every scanner before it blocks anything. A gate nobody believes is worse than no gate at all.

✓

Delivery speed is a constraint

Deployment frequency and lead time are tracked through the engagement. If controls slow you down, that is our problem to solve.

✓

Engineers, not auditors

We write the pipeline code and the policies ourselves rather than handing your team a list of requirements.

✓

Built to be owned

Standard tooling, documented triage paths, and no dependency on us to interpret the results.

FAQ

Questions engineering leaders ask

Friction, tooling choices, and how this interacts with compliance work.

Will this slow our delivery down?
Not if it is done properly. Scans run in parallel, gates block only on high-confidence findings, and we measure deployment frequency before and after to prove it.
We already have a scanner nobody uses. Now what?
That is the most common starting point. We triage the existing backlog, suppress what is not exploitable in your context, fix what is, and only then make the check blocking.
Does this get us SOC 2?
It covers a substantial part of the technical controls and generates much of the evidence automatically. You still need the policy, process, and an auditor, and we work alongside whoever you choose.
Open source or commercial tooling?
Open source covers most of what teams need, and we default to it. We recommend commercial tools only where the capability or the support genuinely justifies the cost.
Who triages findings after you leave?
Your team, with a documented triage path, ownership per finding class, and severity thresholds agreed during the engagement.
